About Ethiopian Age Calculator

The Ethiopian age calculator converts your Gregorian birth date to the Ethiopian calendar and shows your age in Ethiopian years. Since the Ethiopian calendar runs 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, your Ethiopian age differs from your international age. Ethiopian New Year falls on September 11, so people born before that date in a given year will have a different Ethiopian age than those born after.

Each Ethiopian year has a name from the four evangelists in a repeating cycle: Mattewos (Matthew), Markos (Mark), Lukas (Luke), and Yohannes (John). The formula is: year mod 4 — 0 = Yohannes, 1 = Mattewos, 2 = Markos, 3 = Lukas. This tool supports both Gregorian date input and direct Ethiopian calendar date input using the 13-month Ethiopian system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Ethiopian age different from my Gregorian age?
The Ethiopian calendar runs approximately 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, so most people are 7 or 8 years younger on their Ethiopian birthday than in the Western calendar system.
What are the Ethiopian year names?
Years follow a 4-year cycle named after the four Evangelists: Mattewos (Matthew), Markos (Mark), Lukas (Luke), and Yohannes (John).
Can I enter an Ethiopian birth date directly?
Yes. Switch to the "Ethiopian Date" tab to input your birth year, month, and day directly in the Ethiopian calendar.
How do I find my next Ethiopian birthday?
Enter your Gregorian birth date and the tool will show your Ethiopian birth date, your current Ethiopian age, and a countdown to your next Ethiopian birthday.
